The company <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ssl4.eir-parts.net\/doc\/3903\/tdnet\/2681698\/00.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> on Aug. 29 that it had purchased approximately $17m worth of XRP, beginning its accumulation of the cryptocurrency as a balance sheet asset.<\/p>\n<p>The move, which will see Gumi buy Ripple\u2019s native token over the next several months, adds to the video game developer\u2019s earlier purchase of Bitcoin (BTC). The company bought 80,352 BTC for about $6.7 million earlier this year, with the strategy including staking on platforms such as Babylon.<\/p>\n<p>Investment in XRP as part of Gumi\u2019s crypto strategy aligns with plans to tap into opportunities across the blockchain ecosystem, the company said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThrough contributing to the expansion of the XRP ecosystem, which plays an important role in the international remittance and liquidity network strategy primarily promoted by SBI Holdings, we aim to expand revenue opportunities in that business,\u201d it said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everything Blockchain makes XRP move<\/h2>\n<p>XRP is among top altcoins that are attracting a lot of attention, with more public companies coming forth with treasury strategy plans.<\/p>\n<p>On Aug. 29, Everything Blockchain joined VivoPower in tapping into Flare Network for its XRP strategy move. Everything Blockchain announced it had sealed a memorandum of understanding with Flare to explore an XRP yield strategy. <\/p>\n<p>VivoPower recently initiated a $100 million XRP deployment via Flare and Everything Blockchain looks to take a similar route into leveraging yield opportunities with the Ripple cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThis is about unlocking the true financial utility of digital assets like XRP, not just as speculative holdings, but as yield bearing instruments that can compound over time,\u201d said Arthur Rozenberg, chief executive officer of Everything Blockchain. \u201cFlare gives us the rails to do this in a way that meets the governance, security, and auditability standards required of public companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>China\u2019s Webus International, Trident Digital and Nature\u2019s Miracle are among companies to recently unveil XRP treasury strategies.
